Project Somnum taps Global market with Breakthrough MedTech

It is the only monitor with algorithms based on a model of brain electrical activity derived from physiological principles. Other anaesthesia monitoring systems on the market use statistically based empirical approaches.

Consequently, it is sensitive to a range of sedative and anaesthetic agents including midazolam, propofol, ketamine, nitrous oxide and sevoflurane, some of which other depth of anaesthesia monitors cannot detect.

The monitor produces a reading within 2 seconds, compared with 30 seconds for a leading industry competitor, which provides for a more responsive and accurate measurement for the anaesthetist and a significant competitive advantage for the BARM System.

The BARM System is believed to be the only EEG based depth of anaesthesia monitor to measure both hypnotic (level of consciousness) and analgesic (pain relief) state."
